Emperor Angelfish

[majestic987]

Hey just got an adult Emperor angel about 6 " in length and am currently keeping him in a 55 gallon as a QT, tank had been cycled for 2mos has about 80 lbs of rock 50 lbs of sand, and only one other fish. I was not planning on getting such a large one as normally my Qt is a 20 gallon long, however this fish is gorgeous, and I couldnt help myself once I was told I could have him for $110, I also live in NYS, so this was the buy of the year for me. Ive had angels before however never this big. Do you think hell be ok for 2 weeks in the 55, and then into the 180, or should I put him in sooner.

keep him in your QT for at least 4 weeks. I would suggest getting Prazi pro in there to treat for worms and flukes.
Sounds awesome.

We won't know for sure without pictures so you'd better add a picture right away of the angel!

CCampbell57-
Is adding Prazi Pro something you do with all your angels? Are the angels particularly susceptible to worms and flukes? Thanks for your continuing advice.

I didnt do it before, but with the recent additions of my bandit pair and potters pair, I got an outbreak of flukes and it ended up taking one of my bandits and a potters.
I added the prazi pro to the tank and everyone is great now.
Going forward all fish will go through Prazi dip, prazi treated QT for 6 weeks.
